Jelenac - YU/CS-041 - 620 m 1 point
After activating Ramaćki visovi YU/CS-029, there was still time to run to acivate Jelenac YU/CS-041 just 3 km away. Jelenac is one of those unconspicuous little hills and summits. With the help of Google Earth I planned my route on local dirt roads to approach the summit as close as possible. When I got there, it turned out that good dirt roads (good = without mud and rocks) are all over the hill.
I parked some 200 meters from the exact summit location, and once on the summit, found myself a quiet and secluded location on a unused side road.
First I assembled the 14 MHz vertical antenna, and made 15 qsos in 15 minutes, much better than on YU/CS-029 couple of hours earlier. It was 15.30 local time, and since I was not in hurry, decided to change antennas, put the 2 x 10 m doublet and try on 10 MHz and 7 MHz. I made 18 contacts on 10 MHz, and only 6 on 7 MHz, but among those on 7 MHz were three more S2S contacts, with OM4WY/P, OK2BDF/P and OK/DJ5AA/P. I already had a qso with OK/DJ5AA/P few hours before from YU/CS-029; but like me he also moved to another hill and this time was working from OK/US-045.
At 16.40 local time was the last qso and time to pack and head home. In total 39 qsos were made from Jelenac. While YU/CS-029 was somehow disappointing with just a few contacts on a hot summit ocupied by insects, YU/CS-041 saved the day.
